China Openly Dumps Treasuries and What it Means for the Dollar
from Paul Sandhu
Is the Great reset upon us this fall? Probably not, I believe the game will continue a bit longer, we are probably in the 7th inning right now. It may all blow up this fall but maybe not! Depends on what the powers that be have planned, which none of us plebs are privy to.
It’s Official: China Confirms It Has Begun Liquidating Treasuries, Warns Washington / http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2015-08…
On Tuesday evening, we asked what would happen if emerging markets joined China in dumping US Treasurys. For months we’ve documented the PBoC’s liquidation of its vast stack of US paper. Back in July for instance, we noted that China had dumped a record $143 billion in US Treasurys in three months via Belgium, leaving Goldman speechless for once.
We followed all of this up this week by noting that thanks to the new FX regime (which, in theory anyway, should have required less intervention), China has likely sold somewhere on the order of $100 billion in US Treasurys in the past two weeks alone in open FX ops to steady the yuan. Put simply, as part of China’s devaluation and subsequent attempts to contain said devaluation, China has been purging an epic amount of Treasurys.
But even as the cat was out of the bag for Zero Hedge readers and even as, to mix colorful escape metaphors, the genie has been out of the bottle since mid-August for China which, thanks to a steadfast refusal to just float the yuan and be done with it, will have to continue selling USTs by the hundreds of billions, the world at large was slow to wake up to what China’s FX interventions actually implied until Wednesday when two things happened: i) Bloomberg, citing fixed income desks in New York, noted “substantial selling pressure” in long-term USTs emanating from somebody in the “Far East”, and ii) Bill Gross asked, in a tweet, if China was selling Treasurys.
Sure enough, on Thursday we got confirmation of what we’ve been detailing exhaustively for months. Here’s Bloomberg:
China has cut its holdings of U.S. Treasuries this month to raise dollars needed to support the yuan in the wake of a shock devaluation two weeks ago, according to people familiar with the matter.

China can dump as much as they like and the FED will just magic up some more money to hand to the bankers so they can continue to buy shares at the cost of the money in your pocket that will go down in value due to all the printing.
Slave labour in the form of immigrants will take up the slack as they work for less and less and anyone who points this out is a racist because Walmart must have it’s cheap labour so that it can turn a profit.
Indeed the US is catching up with China and i think they have already over taken Russia when it comes to the people being piss poor and fighting over a bone the elite throws them from time to time.
